Answer

1-bromopropane has the higher molecular dipole moment.

Work Step by Step

In 1-bromopropane, the $C-Br$ is polar, and has a high dipole moment. On the other hand, cyclopropane has no electronegative atoms, hence its dipole moment is zero. So, 1-bromopropane has the higher molecular dipole moment.
